Ututo

Ututo was first released in 2000 by Diego Saravia in National University of Salta.{{Cite web|url=https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ututo|title=Ututo|date=3 March 2018|website=DistroWatch|access-date=3 November 2018}} Argentina. It was one of the first live CD distributions in the world{{Cite web|url=http://www.ututo.org/?Historia%2FUtuto%2C-un-GNU%2FLinux-Simple.|title=Ututo, a Simple GNU / Linux|date=3 November 2018|website=ututo.org|access-date=3 November 2018|archive-date=30 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191230094429/http://www.ututo.org/?Historia%2FUtuto%2C-un-GNU%2FLinux-Simple.|url-status=dead}} and the first Linux distribution in Argentina.{{Cite web|url=https://www.linux.com/news/gnulinux-ututo-first-argentinian-linux-distribution|title=UTUTO, the first Argentinian Linux distribution|last=Smith|first=JT|date=15 December 2000|website=linux.com|access-date=3 November 2018}} Ututo carried Simusol,{{cite web |url=http://www.simusol.org.ar/ |title=SimuSol - Que es SimuSol |access-date=28 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117163447/http://simusol.org.ar/ |archive-date=17 November 2015 |url-status=dead}} a system to simulate Solar Energy projects. Ututo was simple to install, because it did not need any configuration. It automatically detected the hardware in the machine, it only asked to "move your mouse". At that time no other distribution worked that way.{{cite web |url=http://www.noticias.com/articulo/20-12-2001/redaccion/ututo-linux-argentino-2mi0.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120905230222/http://www.noticias.com/articulo/20-12-2001/redaccion/ututo-linux-argentino-2mi0.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-09-05 |title=Ututo, el linux argentino |year=2001 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.clarin.com/diario/2001/07/13/s-285112.htm |title=INTERNET: Reportaje a Diego Saravia creador del Novedoso Ututo, de la Universidad Nacional de Salta |publisher=Clarín newspaper |year=2001}}{{cite web|url=https://www.wired.com/software/coolapps/news/2001/05/43737 |title=Argentina Embraces the Penguin |publisher=Wired magazine |year=2001}}{{Request quotation|date=May 2012}}

In 2002, Ututo-R was created, which offered the possibility of operating like a software router. This version was created by Marcos Zapata and used in Buenos Aires public schools.{{cite web|url=http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1008535/linux-penguin-dances-tango-schools |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607133355/http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1008535/linux-penguin-dances-tango-schools |url-status=unfit |archive-date=7 June 2011 |title=Linux penguin dances tango in schools |first=Fernando |last=Cassia |date=15 June 2003}}{{cite web |url=http://aty.hipatia.net/elgg/news/weblog/1088.html |title=Ya van 11 escuelas de Buenos Aires con UtutoR (Reporte) |access-date=29 December 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080624085716/http://aty.hipatia.net/elgg/news/weblog/1088.html |archive-date=24 June 2008 |url-status=dead}}

In 2004, the Ututo-e project was born, swiftly becoming the most important derivative of Ututo.{{cite web |url=http://gnuticias.es.gnu.org/1135950264/index_html |title=Nueva distribución GNU/Linux totalmente libre: UTUTO-e |access-date=29 December 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722195944/http://gnuticias.es.gnu.org/1135950264/index_html |archive-date=22 July 2011 |url-status=dead}} This project was started by Daniel Olivera.

In 2006, Ututo was declared "of National Interest" by the Argentine Chamber of Deputies.{{cite web|url=http://www1.hcdn.gov.ar/proyxml/expediente.asp?fundamentos=si&numexp=6412-D-2006|title=DECLARAR DE INTERES DE LA H CAMARA EL "Proyecto Social de desarrollo e incorporación de Tecnología Informática basada en Software Libre denominado UTUTO"|date=27 October 2006|publisher=Government of Argentina|language=es|access-date=27 May 2019|archive-date=21 February 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070221094601/http://www1.hcdn.gov.ar/proyxml/expediente.asp?fundamentos=si&numexp=6412-D-2006|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://conmutador.net/modules/noticias/article.php?storyid=164 |title=Software Libre : Proyecto UTUTO Declarado de Interés Nacional |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070731175201/http://conmutador.net/modules/noticias/article.php?storyid=164 |archive-date=31 July 2007}}

Ututo XS is the current stable version of Ututo.

Ututo XS is compiled using Gentoo Linux ebuilds and emerge software. All documentation is in Spanish.

With the emergence of the XS series, many new features were added, including a faster system installer.{{cite web |url=http://www.redpanal.org/2009/11/13/%C2%A1ututo-xs-2010-liberado/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20091117193822/http://www.redpanal.org/2009/11/13/%C2%A1ututo-xs-2010-liberado/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2009-11-17 |title=Ututo XS liberado }}{{cite web|url=http://raulespinola.wordpress.com/2009/03/13/ututo-software-libre-desde-argentina-para-el-mundo/ |title=Ututo: Software Libre desde Argentina para el Mundo|date=13 March 2009 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/suplementos/futuro/13-1453-2006-04-22.html |title="UTUTO", EL SOFTWARE LIBRE ARGENTINO.

Ututo has different binaries optimized for different Intel and AMD processors .{{cite web|url=http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/44411 |title=Review: Ututo-e, the "only free distribution" |first=Bruce |last=Byfield |year=2005}}

With no releases since 2012 the distribution is considered "dormant".{{cite web|url=http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ututo|title=DistroWatch.com: UTUTO|author=DistroWatch|work=distrowatch.com|access-date=30 April 2016}}

Ututo UL (or Ubuntu-Libre) is the current developed version of Ututo. Ututo UL utilize Ubuntu as the distro base, with all non-free software removed as usual in the Ututo project, and Linux-libre as the kernel.

In 2017 the original idea of distributing Simusol, a system to simulate Solar Energy projects, returned to the heart of the project.{{cite web|url=https://www.ututo.org/en/|title=Ututo–Home|first=Diego|last=Saravia|work=ututo.org|access-date=1 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180831091212/http://ututo.org/en/|archive-date=31 August 2018|url-status=dead}}

Tux Machines reviewed Ututo in 2006:

{{quote|So, all in all, it's a very respectable project. The installer is not exactly the easiest in the world, but the desktop is nice looking with some handy tools and adequate applications. I'm left with mixed feelings about it, having started out quite excited. But it was still nice to try. If you are a gnome or ubuntu fan, you should really check it out.[http://www.tuxmachines.org/node/4321 Ubuntu Meets Gentoo: Utoto Linux | Tux Machines]}}
